The full moon in Libra in tradition

Moon in Libra, Sun in Aries: this is the full moon of early spring, between late March and late April.

It counts in the Christian calendar, since Easter is set on the Sunday following the first full moon of spring, calculated by the ecclesiastical computus with tables rather than from the observed Moon. Astrological tradition would read in it the tension between acting on your own and working things out with others. The almanacs call it the Worm Moon in March and the Pink Moon in April, after an early wildflower, moss phlox.
